Health Policy

The health and well-being of its staff is important to BiP.

Years in advance of the overall ban on smoking in public places in Scotland, BiP had already declared its offices smoke-free. With the move to our Medius HQ, BiP extended this smoke-free restriction to all external parts of the company’s premises.

Staff are encouraged to take regular breaks and exercise throughout the day and the Fresh Fruit Tuesday initiative aims to help those who want to eat more healthily. A weekly supply of fresh fruit is provided for all staff to enjoy, on-site vending facilities offer a choice of sugar-free and low-fat options and unlimited filtered water is available on tap.

Cycling to work is also encouraged at BiP and the company has provided a secure storage area for cycles.

BiP also offers staff discounted membership to a health care plan in order to reduce the cost of treatment and offers discounted gym membership.
